"What? Say it again!" The Emperor thought he had heard wrongly.
"Your Majesty, Great General Leng has emptied the medicinal herb storehouse of the imperial medicine room.”The young eunuch kneeled on the ground, trembling. He knew that he was probably dead this time. The Emperor was famous for being stingy. General Leng had made the Emperor bleed a lot this time. One had to know that there were quite a number of medicinal herbs in the medicinal herb warehouse. Other than ordinary medicinal herbs, there were also many precious medicinal herbs. The Emperor might not feel bad for ordinary medicinal herbs, but there were so many precious medicinal herbs that were hard to find...
"You, you, then why didn't you stop him!”The Emperor said angrily, his face turning green with anger.
"Servant, servant, we can't stop him. General Leng took out more than 10 storage rings at once. Before this servant could react, all the herbs were stored in his storage rings.”The little eunuch really wanted to cry but had no tears!
"Trash, what a bunch of trash. Men, drag him away.”The emperor ordered the guards angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your dragon body is more important!”Eunuch Liu, the chief eunuch who was waiting at the side, carefully advised. Accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. Even if he was the emperor's confidant, he had to be careful at this time. Si Hao did not dare to be careless.
"Leng Qingtian, you're really too much!”the Emperor said through gritted teeth. He was so angry that his originally handsome face was somewhat distorted.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant can see that Leng Qingtian has clearly come prepared to scheme against Your Majesty. Your Majesty is unable to guard against him!”Eunuch Liu said fawningly. He implied that Leng Qingtian was prepared and that the Emperor had been schemed against.
"Eunuch Liu, do you have any good ideas to help me regain some face?”The Emperor looked expectantly at his trusted eunuch.
"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that this matter needs to be discussed at length. However, at present, Your Majesty has lost some money, and the Great General is not pursuing the matter of the Seventh Prince and Miss Xu. This should be the best outcome.”Eunuch Liu analyzed. He knew that the Emperor loved the Seventh Prince the most, so he was afraid that the Great General would not let go of his granddaughter's injury.
The Emperor thought for a moment." Mm, what you said makes sense. Men, come and set up the palace."”
"Lei Xiao, we have gained a lot today!”Leng Qingtian was happily sharing his experiences with his spiritual beast. His spiritual beast was a Ninth Grade Holy Beast, the Flying Thunder Leopard. It was of both lightning and wind attributes. It was good at flying and was extremely fast. Its attack was also one of the best among the Holy Beasts.
Lei Xiao, who was not good at talking, only nodded his huge head slightly in response to his master.
"Your master, I, just realized today that the taste of robbing is quite good. In the future, if there is such an opportunity, the two of us will continue to cooperate!”Leng Qingtian laughed arrogantly in his heart.
A few black lines slid down the forehead of the huge black panther in the spirit beast space. Master was addicted to robbing and even wanted to pull it along to rob. Master, it was a law-abiding good beast. Sob sob sob, Master had been led astray by Miss. One must know that in its heart, Master had always been very upright. The reason why he schemed against the Emperor today was all because of Miss. Sigh, it understood now. In this world, no one should provoke that little ancestor.
"Miss, why did you dress Sister Lu Tao and me up like this?”Cuizhu looked at her unfamiliar self in the mirror. It was an ordinary face that was difficult to recognize even in a crowd. She was very puzzled.
"Do many people in the Phoenix Capital know you?”Leng Ruoxue didn't answer but asked instead. Her beautiful eyes were flowing with light as she sized up the two of them. She was very satisfied with her masterpiece.
"Of course there are many. Everyone in Feng Du knows that Sister Lu Tao and I are from General Leng's residence!”Cuizhu said. If they did not know their identities, how could those people who wanted to bully the young miss be afraid?
"That's right. Miss, I don't want others to recognize you.”Leng Ruoxue said indifferently. She had already made her words very clear. It would be best if they could understand. If they still didn't understand, she wouldn't bother to explain. She didn't want useless people by her side.
"Miss, Lu Tao understands." Before Cuizhu could react, Lu Tao hurriedly said. She used her eyes to signal Cuizhu to keep quiet so as not to cause Miss to be unhappy.
"Then why aren't you following me?" After Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the door.
It was March in Feng Capital, and it was the time when spring bloomed. The weather today was especially refreshing. The wind was warm, and the sun was bright. The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and there were many couples. It seemed that the folk customs of Dongchi State were quite open and did not reject free love. Leng Ruoxue sized up the retro buildings on the street, the dazzling array of shops, and the goods that belonged to this world. She was also relaxed, and she did not even realize that she was extremely beautiful. What kind of storm had she caused on the street? She did not even notice the deep gaze that had been watching her.
Leng Ruoxue walked into a pet shop. When she entered, she saw the word 'Feng' on the shop's signboard. She knew that this was the shop of the Feng family, which was ranked second among the five great families. The shop was not small and was divided into two floors. As soon as she walked in, she would see a few rows of shelves. The shelves were filled with cages for pets. In the cages, there were cute little beasts lying or standing. Although these were sold as pets, they were all spirit beasts, but their levels were relatively low. They were cute and didn't have any offensive properties. Taming them was very easy, and they had already been tamed. They didn't need a contract, so they were most suitable as pets for noble ladies and ladies.
Leng Ruoxue was very fond of small animals, especially dogs. She had once raised one herself, but there was a little accident later. From then on, she didn't raise any pets. Now that she saw these cute little things, she was also very tempted and wanted to buy one to raise. However, after looking around, other than animals that she didn't recognize, there were all kinds of little rabbits. Although they were very cute, she wasn't interested.
At this moment, she clearly felt a gaze on her. She subconsciously looked over and saw a cage in a slightly remote corner. There was a small black animal in the cage. Was this a cat? She called it a cat because it looked a little like a Persian cat, but it had a fox-like tail. It was lying in the cage, and its big and round blue eyes were looking at her sadly and pitifully. The gaze was really hard to refuse! Alright, she had to admit that she was touched by the cuteness. This little thing really knew how to pretend to be innocent and pitiful. If she hadn't caught the cunning flash in its eyes that was as fast as lightning, she would have been fooled by it.
After a long time, the shop assistant who had been in a daze since she walked into the shop finally came back to her senses. She hurriedly walked forward and looked at Leng Ruoxue in amazement.
"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?”The shop assistant said very politely and softly, completely demonstrating good professional qualities.
Leng Ruoxue pointed at the little guy in the cage." How much is it?”
"Miss wants to buy it? Miss, to be honest with you, it's not in good health now. I'm afraid it won't live long. We have so many cute pets in our shop, and there are better ones upstairs. Why don't you change to another one?”The shop assistant advised her earnestly. She was just short of telling her not to buy this.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the enthusiastic shop assistant with amusement." I only want this. How much is it?”
"Miss, are you sure you want to buy it?"
"Yes." Leng Ruoxue nodded her head lightly. How could this little thing be dying? Although its black fur looked dull and its small body was thin and weak, Leng Ruoxue didn't believe that it was as weak as it looked.
"50 gold coins." The shop assistant said helplessly. He had already said what he needed to say, but this lady still insisted on buying it. He couldn't possibly refuse to sell it, right? He didn't violate the Feng family's principle of 'honesty is the foundation' in doing business!
Leng Ruoxue gestured for Lu Tao to pay. Then, she took the little thing that looked very weak from the shop assistant. She turned around and walked out of the shop for a while.
"'Spring Breeze Building?' That's a restaurant, right? I'm hungry. Let's go eat something.”Leng Ruoxue said as she looked at the exquisitely decorated three-story building not far away.
"Miss, let's change to another place. It's not good there.”Cuizhu said with an unnatural expression.
"Not good? What was wrong? I've decided. This is the place." She was really hungry.
" Miss…" This time, even Lu Tao wanted to say something but hesitated. Her expression was not very good.
"Give me a reason?" Leng Ruoxue's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of displeasure. She hated being hungry.
"Young miss once went to the Spring Breeze House for the Seventh Prince, but something happened later, and that place forbade young miss from entering!”Lu Tao explained carefully, afraid that the young lady would be angry.
It was that damned Seventh Prince again. Leng Ruoxue hated that hateful Seventh Prince to the core. He had actually caused her to be unable to even enter a place to eat. This had also destined that unlucky Seventh Prince to have a tragic end in the future.
"Let's return to the residence!" Leng Ruoxue was not in the mood to eat out at all.
After returning to the General Manor and having her meal, Leng Ruoxue laid lazily on the recliner with the similarly satiated little beast in her arms. She basked in the sun, feeling very satisfied.
"Lu Tao, is there any place in Feng City that doesn't welcome me?”Leng Ruoxue asked casually as she ate some fruits while feeding her little pet.
"Only the Xu family's business, the Spring Breeze Building is also the Xu family's.”Lu Tao explained.
"The Xu family?" Very good, she remembered that anyone who dared to provoke her, Leng Ruoxue, would regret it. Leng Ruoxue's heart thumped as her hand gently caressed the little beast's soft fur. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain on her fingertips. That ungrateful little thing had actually bitten her. However, before she could get angry, she felt a little dizzy. Then, she heard a voice in her mind saying," I'm willing to sign a 'soul natal contract' with you. My soul will follow you, and we will share our lives. Then, a gorgeous and complicated purple contract formation enveloped the man and beast, and the contract was officially established.
Lu Tao, who was at the side, was also a little dumbfounded." Miss... actually contracted a low-grade spirit beast..."
